Welcome to a Well-Seasoned Life. Life is too short to waste any time eating bland food. I'm living a meaningful life while cooking up Southern comfort food, both seasoned with a sense of humor. ~Kim McCallie

Sweet Indulgences Sunday #8

Sometimes, I just have to be realistic with myself about my talents in the kitchen. Looking through all of these wonderful dessert recipes that have been posted here over the last few weeks, I see that I am way out of my league with some of these recipes. But looking at all of your recipes gives me something to strive for. I'm sure the majority of you aren't professional bakers but just home bakers with talent and creativity. By pinpointing my weaknesses, I'm able to realize my strengths and build on them. My talent is in baking pound cakes, sheet cakes, bars, and cookies. And, that's going to be my focus from here on out for a while.

My frustrations are coming from my lastest dessert fiasco that, while still delicious, was not blog-worthy. But, I know that there are many of you out there this week who have had a number of victories in the kitchen. I've already seen them on some of your blogs. Please share them here. And, after coming to terms with my limitations, I did produce a cheesecake bar that was delicious!

Take a look at last week's top recipes and you'll see what I mean about talent in the kitchen. Thanks to everyone who returned to the party last week and to those who accepted my invitation and joined the party for the first time. I am humbled and inspired...

Please link up to the URL of your specific recipe post, not the URL of your main blog. When it asks for "Name", type in the name of your recipe.

Please place a link back to this post in your original post or Grab My Button included below.

Share your most recent dessert. Link up as many desserts as you would like. More is always better when it comes to desserts!

Leave me a comment in this post to let me know that you've joined the party. Also, if you're having your own linky party, feel free to post the link to your party in the comment section. I would love to join your party!

Now, let's share the love! Please visit at least two others and comment on the delicious desserts that they've brought to the party. It means so much to a blogger to get some positive commentary!

I linked up Fudgy Chocolate Cake. And I'm the same way with what I can and can't bake. I focus on mostly brownies, cookies, and cakes. I've had some doozy of a failures but I just admit it, post 'em and move on :).

What are you talking about?!! You are SO not out of any league! :) I've spent lots of time looking at your posts, and you ROCK! Don't let a flop in the kitchen bring you down--we all have them. :) I cannot make a layer cake (that looks decent) to save my life! Anyway! I love your blog and appreciate you hosting this linky party. I linked up some CCC Dough Cheesecake Bars and Popcorn Snack Mix.

Kim, thank you for stopping by my blog and inviting me to participate in this linky. I have added Stuffed Strawberries and Shirley Temple Popsicles. I am a follower of your blog and LOVE it! Have a great weekend.

Thank you, Kim, for inviting me to the link party! I'm fairly new to blogging, and certainly not a professional baker... just someone who has so much fun in the kitchen. I linked up my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles and my Blueberry Gingergread.thekitchenismyplayground.blogspot.com

First of all Kim, Those coconut blueberry cheesecake bars couldn't look more heavenly to me right now! Wow they sure look so YUMMY! I am linking up my cake batter rice krispie treats! Thanks for the invite. I love these linky parties :)
